He was grieving for the death of his daughter Tullia earlier that year, while Caesar's defeat of Pompey's forces at Munda and return to Rome as dictator was causing him great fears and concerns for himself, his friends and the Republic itself. This collection of new essays offers a holistic critical commentary on this important work. World-leading experts consider its historical and philosophical context and the central arguments and themes of each of the five books, which include the treatment of the fear of death, the value of pain, the Stoic account of the emotions and the thesis that virtue is sufficient for happiness. Each chapter pays close attention to Cicero's own method of philosophy, and the role of rhetoric and persuasion in pursuing his inquiries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 214\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 18, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47348493844729,"sku":"9781009586054","price":198.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/MdcgrdWZz69781009586054_c9fa06d7-e7b6-4c5e-8837-bee1380139b2.webp?v=1769774357","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/ciceros-tusculan-disputations-hardcover-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
